Chapter 8 The road ahead
The sound of breasts and sings came. Wang Chong turned around and a girl wearing a floral cotton jacket, with long hair, a pink and jade-like face, and a small cherry mouth, was squinting her waist and staring at herself arrogantly.
"Sun Xiuxiu?" Wang Chong said.
"It's this girl, who are you? Is it..."
She seemed to have guessed Wang Chong's identity, because her father told her a few days ago that a child named Wang Chong was very nice, so she made a baby kiss for them.
"Yes, I am your future husband." Wang Chong walked towards her: "I know you look down on me now, but it doesn't matter, I will let you know the real me."
Wang Chong did not approach Sun Xiuxiu because he found that this girl was developing faster than him, both seven years old, but she was half a head taller than him. When she walked over, she wanted to look up at her.
Sure enough, girls develop quickly, especially girls who have been frugal since childhood.
Although Sun Xiuxiu was only 7 years old, she knew a lot, but Wang Chong's words still made her unable to react.
"What about thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi? Let me tell you that I have very strict requirements on my husband. Can you do it?"
Can it be done?
Please remove the word ‘Do’, thank you.
Unfortunately, Wang Chong would not explain too much. After all, he was only facing a 7-year-old doll. Is it necessary for him to explain this kind of child?
"Hmph, can't you do it?" Sun Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue in a weird way: "A little bit, my husband can play a rooster. You should quickly pretend to be a rooster and crow to me, just like this, gaga..."
"You're a duck." Wang Chong frowned.
"I know I'm a duck, so I want you to learn a rooster, so I can learn it for me."
Is this girl really like this? She is indeed a seven-year-old baby, which is unreasonable.
"I remember I still have something to do, goodbye."
"Hey, don't leave. The rooster doesn't know how to learn to beep. Let's learn to beep with pigs. My husband wants to be able to play with me. Hurry up and scream for me, I also want to ride a horse..."
The quirky Sun Xiuxiu kept pestering Wang Chong. Wang Chong's face turned a little blue when he was so angry that he thought this girl was a little cute at first sight, but now he only thinks it is annoying.
"A girl like this is actually my wife, and I'm so angry."
In the next few days, Sun Xiuxiu came to find Wang Chong almost every day, but Wang Chong basically hid.
There is nothing I can do about this. A seven-year-old child has been pestering him and cannot beat him or scold him. He really has no way to be punished.
More than a month later, Wang Quancai's injuries were healed, and his face had bloody color. He was embarrassed to live there anymore, so he said goodbye to the place and went home.
Five years have passed again in a blink of an eye.
Since Wang Quancai was seriously injured, his body has not healed. Although there was nothing on the surface, he could no longer work in the fields. He could only teach some children. However, as his health became worse day by day, he was a little inadequate in the end.
Therefore, in the end, Wang Chong could only teach.
During this period, Wang Chong lived a fulfilling life and exercised every day, but because Wang Quancai lost his ability to work, he could only learn to go to the fields to work at a young age.
On a midsummer night, Wang Zhong finished his meal and was about to go out to practice martial arts. Wang Quancai, who was lying on the bed to rest, called him.
"Erping, you are already twelve years old, what do you think about the future."
Wang Quancai is worthy of being an intellectual, and his mind is not about letting his children guard this acre of land.
"Dad, can I go to the exam for fame and fortune in the future?" Wang Chong put down his chopsticks and said calmly.
The couple looked at each other, and Wang Quancai shook his head in disappointment: "This road cannot do."
"But you also took the imperial examination several times back then. Although you didn't, why didn't you let me try?" After thinking about it, Wang Chong simply stood up, "You should know that I have confidence in my knowledge."
"It's a pity that you were born at the wrong time."
"What's the meaning?"
"The court is corrupt today and there are countless stupid officials. I heard that Li Erdan, his brother next door, took the imperial examination five times, but he didn't pass once. Do you know why?" Wang Quancai sighed: "It's because he was replaced with the test paper."
"How is that..."
In the Dalong Dynasty, when he was a little eunuch at first, all the civil and military officials in the Dalong Dynasty were basically stupid officials, and corruption was prevalent. After he took power, he also investigated several cases in the imperial examinations that were not tested.
I didn't expect that there was also...
Because of his identity as close to the emperor, he could easily take power as long as he showed his strength in front of the emperor.
But this time, it wasn't that easy.
"Then what about my martial arts exam?" Wang Chong said, and rejected it himself.
With his body, it may not be so easy to pass the exam.
"Erping, you will marry Sun Xiuxiu in the future. You don't need to think about those things. From now on, you can go to the Sun family more and connect with your relationship. As for me, my health is getting worse and worse. You are already 12 years old and will become an adult in two years. Remember, this family will be handed over to you in the future. When you are 18 years old, I will try to get you and Xiuxiu to marry in advance."
"Uh... I got it."
Although he knew it was a game, Wang Zhong's heart was still heavy because he knew that it was a family responsibility.
After that, Wang Quancai's health was getting worse day by day. He could barely walk around before, but in the end he could only lie on the bed.
In fact, Wang Chong also thought about how to treat Wang Quancai. Unfortunately, he did not know Chinese medicine, so he could not treat it at all. He could only frequently ask the village doctor to come over and take the pulse and then prepare some Chinese medicine.
In order to see a doctor, all five sheep in the family were sold, leaving only a special breeding ram. More than ten old hens who could only lay eggs were finally sold by Chen Yu.
Because Wang Quancai couldn't teach, there were fewer and fewer children coming to study. After all, Wang Chong seemed to be only in his teens and no one believed that he could teach. In addition, Brother Li Erdan from a village also opened a private school, and most of the children went there to school.
This has led to a lot of money in the family's income, and they have to buy medicine for Wang Quancai every month, which has also made the originally wealthy family very difficult.
It was raining all night long. Wang Chong was sixteen years old this summer, and there was a storm for more than a month. The fields that were originally preparing for a bumper harvest were not harvested.
Wang Chong's house also collapsed in heavy rain. Fortunately, he found something was wrong in advance and hurriedly pulled his mother out of the house.
